OCTOBER 2019 25
you multitasking at top speed, but don’t
work to the breaking point.
HLOVE: First Week. Romance takes a
back seat to taking care of business, and
too much downtime precludes socializing.
Second Week. An impromptu conversa-
tion with a courier, neighbor, commuter,
or on social media sparks a dialogue that
has a deep impact. Third Week. The Moon
transits Gemini, your house of romance
(the 5th). You’ll look twice at a youthful
raconteur who’s witty and well-formed.
Fourth Week. Cupid strikes in out-of-
the-way places. Follow up quickly or the
opportunity may be lost.
HMONEY: A lackadaisical approach
to the finer points of managing your
cash flow inclines you to overspend on
commonplace items that are ephemeral
and somewhat unnecessary. Donating
to a worthy cause or to a friend in need
impacts your disposable income, but
you’ll remain afloat. On the 24th and
25th the Moon transits Virgo, the house
of your partner’s income, credit cards,
taxes, insurance, and debts (the 8th).
Detailed scrutiny in these matters pre-
vents increases in fines and fees.
HHEALTH: Nervous tension increases
during the first week, requiring you to
take deep breaths and frequent breaks to
regain your composure. A short, brisk
walk does wonders to restore your equi-
librium, so does solitude on your own
terms. On the 19th and 20th the Moon
transits Cancer, your house of medical
matters, diet, and exercise (the 6th).
Home-cooked food served with loving
hands has a therapeutic effect that is
worth seeking out. Once you’ve found it
share it with others.
HLOVE: First Week. Pluto stations
direct in your house of like-mind-
ed pals (the 11th). A friendship can
lead to romance. Second Week. Venus
enters Scorpio, placing Cupid among
scholars, internationals, and lawyers.
Jealousy can impact your judgment;
consider the ramifications. Third Week.
Shared values are the ties that bind, and
you won’t settle for anything less than
total commitment. Fourth Week. Cupid
sends you swooning, and a philosophi-
cal or educational endeavor can run the
gamut from agony to ecstasy.
HMONEY: On the 3rd Mars enters
Libra, the house of your partner’s
income, credit cards, shared billing,
insurance, financial settlements, and
debts (the 8th). Sorting out bills and
confirming who makes the payments
on specific dates becomes a topic rife
with controversy, disagreements, and
confrontations. Cries of “no fair” are
loud and clear, and balancing accounts
receivable with accounts payable sends
you down a rabbit hole. The Full Moon
in Aries on the 13th finds you paying
the piper in the quickest way possible.
*HEALTH: The Moon transits Leo
on the 21st and 22nd, your house of
health maintenance, hygiene, diet, and
exercise (the 6th). Sudden changes in
your schedule require you to work more
hours than usual, skipping meals and
ignoring break time. Sacrificing your
time and energy to see a job well done
works to your benefit, but depletion and
exhaustion are the price you pay. Your
mate’s ailments on the 24th and 25th
make you a caregiver whose simple
attentions have a healing effect. PPISCES
